Hi, I'm using the R nnet package and have a few simple (?) questions. What is the "value " that is output after every 10 iterations during the training of the network and how is it calculated? # weights: 177 initial value 506.134586 iter 10 value 128.222774 iter 20 value 95.399782 iter 30 value 87.184564 ... Is the "value" the error, if not, is there any way

Hi, I am trying to determine the number of units in the hidden layer and the decay rate using the CVnn2 script found in MASS directory (reference: pg 348,MASS-4). The model that I am using is in the form of Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3... + X11 and the underlying data is time-series in nature. I found the MASS and nnet package extremely useful (many thanks to the contributors). However I am getting

Hello, I use nnet to do prediction for a continuous variable. after that, I calculate correlation coefficient between predicted value and real observation. I run my code(see following) several time, but I get different correlation coefficient each time. Anyone know why? In addition, How to calculate prediction accuracy for prediction of continuous variable? Aimin thanks, > m.nn.omega

Hi, I'm currently trying desperately to get the nnet function for training a neural network (with one hidden layer) to perform a regression task. So I run it like the following: trainednet <- nnet(x=traindata, y=trainresponse, size = 30, linout = TRUE, maxit=1000) (where x is a matrix and y a numerical vector consisting of the target values for one variable) To see whether the network

Hi, Am working on neural network. Below is the coding and the output > library (nnet) > uplift.nn<-nnet (PVU~ConsumerValue+Duration+PromoVolShare,y,size=3) # weights: 16 initial value 4068.052704 final value 3434.194253 converged > summary (uplift.nn) a 3-3-1 network with 16 weights options were - b->h1 i1->h1 i2->h1 i3->h1 16.64 6.62 149.93

I want to create a neural network, and then everytime it receives new data, instead of creating a new nnet, i want to use a backpropagation algorithm to adjust the weights in the already created nn. I'm using nnet package, I know that nn$wts gives the weights, but I cant find out which weights belong to which conections so I could implement the backpropagation algorithm myself. But if anyone

Dear all, Objective: I am trying to learn about neural networks. I want to see if i can train an artificial neural network model to discriminate between spam and nonspam emails. Problem: I created my own model (example 1 below) and got an error of about 7.7%. I created the same model using the Rattle package (example 2 below, based on rattles log script) and got a much better error of about

Dear Sir/Madam I have recently started using the nnet package but cannot find any documentation other than the one page titled 'nnet {nnet}' which is replicated several times over the internet and is found in the help file for this package. I would like more information on how to use the package and have searched extensively over the internet but cannot find anything more. Do you know of

Hi everyone, According to R reference manual, the nnet function uses the BFGS method of optim to optimize the neural network parameters. I would like, when calling the function nnet to tell the optim function not to produce the tracing information on the progress of the optimization, or at least to reduce the frequency of the reports. I tried the following: a) nnet default > x<-rnorm(20)

Greetings, I am having trouble calculating artificial neural network misclassification errors using errorest() from the ipred package. I have had no problems estimating the values with randomForest() or svm(), but can't seem to get it to work with nnet(). I believe this is due to the output of the predict.nnet() function within cv.factor(). Below is a quick example of the problem I'm

Hi, I use nnet for my classification problem and have a problem concerning the calculation of the final value for my validation data.(nnet only calculates the final value for the training data). I made my own final value formula (for the training data I get the same value as nnet): # prob-matrix pmatrix <- cat*fittedValues tmp <- rowSums(pmatrix) # -log likelihood

Greetings list, I've just swapped from the "neural" package to the "nnet" package and I've noticed that the training is orders of magnitude faster, and the results are way more accurate. This leads me to wonder, what training algorithm is "nnet" using? Is it a modification on the standard backpropagation? Or a completely different algorithm? I'm

I'm trying to build forecasting equation from weights of 2-2-1 neural net. Running the nnet function gives me a vecto of 9 weights, but I don't know how to build the equation form these values. Can anyone advice? Or at least tell me where the nnet output is described in details (the manual only gives a brief description). Thanks.

Dear List, I am trying to solve a problem by the neural network method(library: nnet). The problem is to express Weight in terms of Age , Sex and Height for twenty people. The data frame consists of 20 observations with four variables: Sex, Age, Height and Weight. Sex is treated as a factor, Age and Weight are variables normalized to unity, as usual. I wanted to construct a neural network, and so

Hi, I am trying to make a neural network learning a "noisy sine wave". Suppose I generate my data like so.. x <- seq(-2*pi, 2*pi, length=500) y <- sin(x) + rnorm(500, sd=sqrt(0.075)) I then train the neural net on the first 400 points using c <- nnet(as.matrix(x[1:400]),as.matrix(y[1:400]), size=3, maxit=10000, abstol=0.075, decay=0.007) Inspecting the fit of the training

Dear All, I'm learning to train a neural network with my training data by using nnet package, then evaluate it with a evaluation set. My problem here is that, I need the trained network to be used in future, so, what should I store? and How? Any other options other than nnet package? Any example will be highly appreciated! Best, Baoqiang Cao

Hi, I was trying to use the nnet library and am not sure of whats going on. I am calling the nnet function as: n <- nnet(x,y,size=3,subset=sets[[1]], maxit=200) Where x is a 272x4 matrix of observations (examples) and y is a 272x1 matrix of target values. However when I look at nnet$residuals they are off by two orders of magnitude (compared to the output from neural network code that I
